yes, I forgot to mention that, it is RC, RC 3 is great.  I've not 
experienced bugs with the software and in fact use it day to day for all 
my email needs. w/ the ability to tell it to choose who you want text 
only emails, a great spell checker (built-in, non MS). and the ability 
to add-in security w/ PGP or digitally sign email and the before 
mentioned built-in JunkMail filters.  and as I mentioned before, you no 
longer have to worry about auto-executing email.
